In step S802, wireless transmission acceptance division 22 receives request of data.Acceptance division 22 is transmitted wirelessly by request of data The transmission source MAC of frame is exported to network control unit 24.It is the situation of the node of up-link in the transmission source of request of data Under, advance to step S804.
In step S803, network control unit 24 is by the value of up-link timer compared with threshold value.Work as uplink When the value of road timer is less than threshold value, step S805 is advanced to.When the value of up-link timer is not less than threshold value, it is back to Step S802.
In step S804, network control unit 24, which generates uplink control message and exported, gives wireless transmission acceptance division 22.Wireless transmission acceptance division 22 sends uplink control message via antenna 21 with mode of unicast.
In step S805, network control unit 24 makes the value of up-link timer reset and be set as zero.Processing returns To step S802.
In step S802, in the case where the transmission source of request of data is the node of downlink, step is advanced to S806。
In step S806, by the value of downlink timer compared with threshold value.When the value of downlink timer During less than threshold value, step S807 is advanced to.When the value of downlink timer is not less than threshold value, step S802 is back to.
In step S807, network control unit 24, which generates downlink control messages and exported, gives wireless transmission acceptance division 22.Wireless transmission acceptance division 22 sends downlink control messages via antenna 21 with mode of unicast.
In step S808, network control unit 24 makes the value of downlink timer reset and be set as zero.Processing returns To step S802.
Threshold value compared with up-link timer and downlink timer is set to the interval control of this node N times of the value in cycle processed.The tapping mode cycle is to start to proceed by time of the dormancy untill starting again from node.n For the integer more than or equal to 1.
By the way that threshold value to be set to n times of the value in tapping mode cycle, thus untill the period of validity time-out of link, energy Enough send n up-link and downlink control messages.When setting n as 1, if the transmission failure one of link control message It is secondary, then cause the period of validity time-out of link, the renewal failure of link.On the other hand, when n being set into larger, link control The transmission interval of message shortens, so as to cause the portfolio of wireless network to increase, the power consumption increase of node.Therefore, by appropriate Ground sets n, can reduce the failure of link renewal, additionally it is possible to suppresses the portfolio increase of wireless network and the power consumption of node increases Add.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, when network control unit is to link control message is exported to wireless transmission acceptance division Rise elapsed time counted, when receiving request of data from adjacent radio communication device elapsed time be less than threshold During value, acceptance division not transmission link control message is transmitted wirelessly, therefore, can be right untill the period of validity time-out of link Link is updated.
